THE LORD STILL ANSWERS BY FIRE!


When many people tell stories of the faithfulness of God,times to the ordinary mind, it looks stupid or fake. This is a true story of a family I know very well. This family moved to Europe and when they got here,things were not as they have envisaged,it was tough and they began to live from one room to another.They were pushed out almost every month because they didn't have their permits and the visa they had had expired. They were trusting GOD but it was getting really difficult because the kids couldn't go to school and the job they got they weren't getting paid for it. As soon as the boss or the owner of the job found out they had no permit, he or she will refuse to pay.It was very hard but as Christians they held on to the faithfulness of God. The little money they had finished and they were paying their rent from their bank account in Africa. Imagine that! Paying Europe rent from Africa. They had no choice,they thought of going back but they were sure that God wanted them in Europe and He promised to make a way. They got another room and everything seems fine until the Naija guy that ownes the flat started demanding that the pay 3months in advance. 3months? There was no way they could come up with such money because they just paid him 2months in advance from their account. The owner of the flat is someone I know and his name is a day of the week,when Christians go and worship God. He insisted that its either they pay or leave,they had 2 very young children at that time they were both under 3years. They begged him to please give them more time but he said no. So one day they were trying to cook food and he came and turned off the switch to the electric stove and he removed the fuse.The children were hungry and they were crying. You see God is a divine planner,few days before that, someone threw away an old barbecue stove and they picked it and joked that when will they ever use it,its those type that uses charcoal.As soon as he switched off the stove,they went to him telling him that they think there was something wrong with the electricity ;he answered very abrasive,"nothing is wrong I switched it off". "Please let us make food for the children",they pleaded with him but he said no. They went into their room and shed tears and went on their knees and called God to see their situation and do something. They went to the nearby store to buy charcoal,they went out into the yard and cooked and they remember the neighbours wondering why they were cooking on a barbecue stove,. They ate and stayed in their room,then later in the day the owner of the flat wanted to cook,as soon as he put his food on the stove power was taken. He thought it was a burnt fuse or something,he changed the fuse,no power,then he went to check with his neighbour,no power,after an hour, it was announced that the whole town in Stockholm, called Tensta had a power cut and the engineers have tried to locate the problems but couldn't find any. This is the part that I speak in tongues because of the awesomeness of God. This is the part that I get more afraid of God. Swedish engineers are one of the best in the world but they couldn't find the fault,there was no storm no rain but God decided that if His children had no electricity then nobody should have.It was announced that there would be no electricity for 3 days,our brother panicked, he called his elder brother and said, what type of people are living in my flat? I heard them praying to God to do something,after I removed the switch and the whole town lost power.What will happen if I ask them for the advance payment? I am so scared,as he was on the phone the family heard the conversation and even became more afraid of God. He came to them,days after power was restored and told them that they can stay a month rent-free but that he needed the room after that because his brother will be coming over. It was a lie, he was just too scared to let them live in his flat. Its being years now,this family is doing very well in fact we can say they are Europeans citizens now and everything is just wonderful! God can fight for you,never try to fight your battles yourself. He says vengeance is mine,;I will repay! He is a GOD that truly answers by fire and also The God of the universe. Nothing is too hard for HIM. What are you going thru? Relax Jesus is in control and at the same time in charge. Thank you for reading to the end, please help click on some of the adverts on this page from our sponsors. God bless you.
